FAQ

  • Are your sunscreens certified vegan?
    G'Day Zinc has attained100% Vegan Certification with Vegecert (Certified Companies - Vegecert), and all product testing is cruelty-free. No animals or animal products are involved in our product, the testing or the manufacturing processes.
  • Are All Your Products Safe During Pregnancy and Breast-feeding?
    Yes, our sunscreens are safe to use during pregnancy and breast-feeding. We understand the importance of gentle and non-irritating skincare during this sensitive time. Our products are formulated with mineral-based ingredients, which safety and efficacy is scientifically proved. Mineral sunscreens, like ours, sit on top of the skin and act as a physical barrier to the sun's rays, making them a preferred choice for many expectant and new mothers.
  • Are your sunscreens reef safe?
    Absolutely! Our sunscreens are 100% organic (audited 100% Organic by PHARMCHEM Technical Services to NSF/ANSI 305-2016) and biodegradable, and therefore pose no risk to our environment.
  • Are Your Products Suitable for Sensitive Skin?
    Yes, our products are suitable for sensitive skin. We understand that sensitive skin requires extra care, which is why we have developed specific formulations to cater to this need. Our sunscreens for sensitive skin are made with gentle, skin-nurshing ingredients that minimize the risk of irritation. They provide effective broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, while being kind and soothing to sensitive skin. Additionally, these specialized products are free from common irritants like fragrances and certain chemicals, making them a safe choice for those with sensitive skin. We always recommend doing a patch test before using any new skincare product, to ensure it agrees with your skin type.
  • Do I Need To Wear Sunscreen During The Winter Months?
    Yes, it is important to wear sunscreen during the winter months. The sun's UV rays can be just as damaging in the colder months as they are in the summer, which lead to skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer. Additionally, UVA rays, which contribute to skin aging and wrinkles, are present all year round and can penetrate clouds and glass. Therefore, for comprehensive skin protection, we recommend using sunscreen every day, regardless of the season or weather conditions.
  • Do You Use Any Artificial Preservatives or Additives?
    No, we do not use any artificial preservatives or additives in our products. Our commitment to organic and vegan standards means we prioritize natural, plant-based ingredients in all our formulations. Instead of artificial substances, we use natural alternatives to ensure the safety and freshness of our products without compromising their quality or our ethical standards. This approach aligns with our dedication to providing products that are not only healthy and effective but also environmentally friendly and ethically produced.
  • What is the consistency of your sunscreen?
    Our sunscreens are fairly thick, but soak into the skin well and are similar in consistency to Banana Boat Simply Protect and Sun Bum’s SPF50 Mineral Sunscreen. We also have products with added ingredients to help fight acne, and are non-comedogenic (say goodbye to the dreaded sunscreen breakouts).
  • What Are the Benefits of Choosing Organic and Vegan Products?
    Choosing organic and vegan products offers several benefits: Health Benefits: Organic products are free from harmful pesticides and chemicals, often leading to higher nutrient levels. Vegan products eliminate the health risks associated with animal or animal-derived products. Environmental Impact: Organic farming practices are designed to reduce pollution and conserve water, enhancing soil fertility. Vegan products have a lower carbon footprint, as animal farming is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Ethical Considerations: Vegan products align with ethical standards against animal cruelty and exploitation. Organic farming also often includes fair trade practices, supporting better conditions for farmers. Avoidance of GMOs: Both organic and vegan products typically avoid the use of GMOs. By choosing organic and vegan, consumers not only make a positive impact on their health but also contribute to a more sustainable and ethical world.
  • Are Your Products Safe for Kids and Baby?
    Yes, our products are safe for kids and baby. We take great care in formulating our sunscreens to ensure they are gentle yet effective for young, sensitive skin. Our products are made with high-quality, skin-nurshing ingredients, suitable for children's delicate skin. We recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 to protect against both UVA and UVB rays. However, as with any product applied on a child's skin, we advise first doing a patch test to check for any sensitivities and consulting with a pediatrician if you have any concerns.
  • Are Your Products Palm-free?
    Yes, our products are completely palm-free. In our commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability, we ensure that all our ingredients are organic, vegan, natural, and non-palm derived. By avoiding palm oil and its derivatives, we take a stand against deforestation and the habitat destruction often associated with conventional palm oil production. Our focus on using only non-palm ingredients not only supports a healthier environment but also aligns with our ethical values. This approach allows us to offer sunscreens that are both effective and environmentally conscious, providing a guilt-free choice for eco-aware consumers.
